Six of the best for reinsman Wayne Hill at today's Victor Harbor race meeting in South Australia.
That will get him on the harness.org.au honour roll of winners of more than five races at a meeting!
http://www.harness.org.au/hra/annual/public/drivers.htm
He had driven five winners at a meeting previously.
Wayne's winners were Windburnt ($6.80), Machtwister ($22.20), Queen Of Sharkz ($5.60), Silver Ranger ($2.60) Danamite Lass ($10.50) and Wills ($4.80) in the first six races. He led on the favourite and ran second last in the final race in an attempt to claim the perfect afternoon.
Incidentally as I read through and receive old magazines etc I look for anyone that can be added to the list on harness.org.au - as computer records only began in 1980. Another name was added to the list last week after a five race win haul in QLD in 1978 was discovered.
Some nice horses starting or extending their winning sequence at Bendigo last night ( Dec 30)
Spot Ona Shadow First up for 2 years now 111

I'll add the names when I check the 1968 Year Book.
Kerryn Manning had drives in the first 5 races at Maryborough today for
WIN, WIN, WIN, 3rd, 3rd
A fair afternoons work
Yarragon trainer Rob Evans landed his first winner in 31 years (and four days) at Warragul today.
Into You led throughout in the sixth event.
In fairness to Rob, he has spent much of those three decades away from trotting, but is back with his horse who should win further races.
Rob's last winner was in a night race at Warragul on Jan 16, 1985.
He also dabbles in training track design, having built the one he trains on across from the Yarragon football ground, and he is now building a track for local trainer Gary Quinlan on his property.
Hi Tee Cee
This was from me, not awakening after a nearly 50 year hiatus.
Whet we were looking at was finding drivers who had driven 5 or more winners at the one meeting, and wondering where to find the data.
Year book searches were a start, but the info is not easy to find.....
Not sure if this is on the HRA website list Noel.
Worth letting Kathy Gebert know at HRA if not as they like to hear about additions to the list.
